I was just wondering what everyone else thought. On tonights show they aired some of the convo between Jessica and Eric in the Gym... During that convo is when Eric told Jess about Amber's 2 Abortions and 2 Faked Abortions and her speed habit... None of that aired (which I didnt expect)

So my question is... did they NOT air any of that to protect Erics image in the public, or to protect Ambers image?

Just wondering what you all thought.. I will post my opinion after a few... :-)

That would be a pretty bad thing to choose to air, regardless of which HG was involved.

I think BB has intentionally aired Eric in a "good light" to keep him in the house. And I hope it fails miserably and he gets to meet LJC in person on Thursday.

What I think may air is Amber's comments about Jewish people. The timing is that it happened after POV so wouldn't be timely for tonight's show, but since they aired Erika's "Fresh off the boat" comments about Gee in her season, I bet we will be hearing some of Amber's comments.

I think the producers didn't get around to airing it or it didn't fit tonight's storyline. It's funny how ones view of the BB crew changes depending on the situation.

One moment they are considered totally incompetent with little interest in creating a good show and the next they are incredibly ingenious manipulators, manipulating both the HGs and the viewers.

I think they are a little of both, so I don't read too much into what gets left in and left out.

I think it helped both of them with the public, but I think the producers are mostly wanting to protect Eric.. but then to be honest they could have aired it and I suspect more of the viewers would pick up on what Amber did/said and not so much on Eric holding it over Amber's head.

Jimmer, I've never considered them incompetent, they have always created a good show, edited beautifully, but they also have always slanted things in favor or one HG or another, which we could tell based on what we've seen on the feeds.

Sorry to dig up this thread considering this isn't about Eric vs Amber, per se (somewhat moot now that they are back on the same side)... but I just wanted to add that while I generally agree that Big Brother is edited "ok", tonight's episode was not, considering they not only didn't bring up Amber's anti-semitic rant, but they failed to reinforce her duplicity (like in last weeks show about backdooring Nick) and instead showed her as "honest" when it came to keeping her word to Eric.

This is probably the first year that I have seen so much BB manipulation and I blame it on the AP. This has been a total disaster due to incompetence. If CBS's website is correct then Eric follows America's directives. If BB gave Eric the same playing power as the rest of the hgs they did not reveal it to the viewers. That sounds a little shady to me. If we don't like the way the AP is playing the game, then we are stuck either playing his game or going against him. This is why there is so much dissent. We the viewers didn't create it BB did.
If I am going to watch this for entertainment and I am not entertained because the person I think is playing the worst game is winning with our help, then I just won't watch. I will see what happens this week, but if it is another week like this week I probably won't watch. Eric made his choice and like any other player he should have been on his own, without help from insiders. It's not fun to watch a game that is totally scripted. That's not what I enjoy and I know many, many of us who have been here since season one feel the same way.
